CME 250:Introduction to Machine Learning

A Short course presenting the principles behind when, why, and how to apply modern machine learning algorithms. We will discuss a framework for reasoning about when to apply various machine learning techniques, emphasizing questions of over-fitting/under-fitting, regularization, interpretability, supervised/unsupervised methods, and handling of missing data. The principles behind various algorithms--the why and how of using them--will be discussed, while some mathematical detail underlying the algorithms--including proofs--will not be discussed. Unsupervised machine learning algorithms presented will include k-means clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), and independent component analysis (ICA). Supervised machine learning algorithms presented will include support vector machines (SVM), classification and regression trees (CART), boosting, bagging, and random forests. Imputation, the lasso, and cross-validation concepts will also be covered. The R programming language will be used for examples, though students need not have prior exposure to R. Prerequisite: undergraduate-level linear algebra and statistics; basic programming experience (R/Matlab/Python).

CME 251:Geometric and Topological Data Analysis (CS 233)

Mathematical computational tools for the analysis of data with geometric content, such images, videos, 3D scans, GPS traces -- as well as for other data embedded into geometric spaces. Global and local geometry descriptors allowing for various kinds of invariances. The rudiments of computational topology and persistent homology on sampled spaces. Clustering and other unsupervised techniques. Spectral methods for geometric data analysis. Non-linear dimensionality reduction. Alignment, matching, and map computation between geometric data sets. Function spaces and functional maps.Networks of data sets and joint analysis for segmentation and labeling. The emergence of abstractions or concepts from data.

CME 252A:Applications of Optimization in Telecom Networks

Introduction to traffic planning and engineering on the Internet. Overview of Internet architecture; applications of linear and nonlinear optimization to traffic matrix estimation; capacity planning and routing optimization and experimentation with algorithms in Julia. Requirements: some optimization and technical computing experience would help, but open to anyone interested in the topic talk to instructor if unsure.

CME 253:Introduction to GPU Computing and CUDA

Covers the fundamentals of accelerating applications with GPUs (Graphics Processing Units); GPU programming with CUDA and OpenACC, debugging, thrust/CUB, profiling, optimization, debugging, and other CUDA tools. Libraries to easily accelerate compute code will be presented and deployment on larger systems will be addressed, including multi-GPU environments. Several practical examples will be detailed, including deep learning. Pre-requiste: knowledge of C/C++ at the level of CME211 or
CS106b.

CME 257:Advanced Topics in Scientific Computing with Julia

This short course runs from the 2nd to the 5th week of the quarter. This course will rapidly introduce students to the new Julia language, with the goal of giving students the knowledge and experience necessary to begin contributing to the language and package ecosystem while using Julia for their own scientific computing needs. The course will begin with learning the basics of Julia with an emphasis on its object-oriented features, and then introduce students to Github and package development. Additional topics include: common packages, interfacing with C shared object libraries, and Julia's core linear algebra implementation. Lectures will be interactive, with an emphasis on collaboration and learning by example. Prerequisites: Data structures at the level of
CS106B, experience with one or more scientific computing languages (e.g. Python, Matlab, or R), and some familiarity with C/C++ and the Unix shell. No prior experience with Julia or Github is required.

CME 263:Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems (EE 263)

Applied linear algebra and linear dynamical systems with applications to circuits, signal processing, communications, and control systems. Topics: least-squares approximations of over-determined equations, and least-norm solutions of underdetermined equations. Symmetric matrices, matrix norm, and singular-value decomposition. Eigenvalues, left and right eigenvectors, with dynamical interpretation. Matrix exponential, stability, and asymptotic behavior. Multi-input/multi-output systems, impulse and step matrices; convolution and transfer-matrix descriptions. Control, reachability, and state transfer; observability and least-squares state estimation. Prerequisites: linear algebra and matrices as in
MATH104; differential equations and Laplace transforms as in
EE102B.

This course introduces computational modeling methods for cardiovascular blood flow and physiology. Topics in this course include analytical and computational methods for solutions of flow in deformable vessels, one-dimensional equations of blood flow, cardiovascular anatomy, lumped parameter models, vascular trees, scaling laws, biomechanics of the circulatory system, and 3D patient specific modeling with finite elements; course will provide an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of adult and congenital cardiovascular diseases and review recent research in the literature in a journal club format. Students will use SimVascular software to do clinically-oriented projects in patient specific blood flow simulations.
